Viserion’s Uncertain Fate in Game of Thrones
Last night’s battle beyond the wall still has our heads spinning. Perhaps the most memorable moment though, came in the very last second of the very last scene…Spoilers ahead…
The Ice Dragon now lives. And many feelings (and many questions) were brought to the surface with it.
We always knew the mother of dragons would likely have to sacrifice at least one of them in her quest to take the Iron Throne.

Questions After Game of Thrones Epic “Beyond the Wall”
While we mourn Viseron and muster courage for the fight ahead, we’ve got plenty of questions after Game of Thrones epic penultimate episode “Beyond the Wall.” (You can read our recap here.)
What happens now that Jon’s finally bent the knee?
After weeks of demanding Jon bend the knee, all it took for Dany to get her wish was for Jon to see her swoop in atop Drogon and save his crew from certain death.
Emmy-nominated Casting Director on Finding the Kids of Stranger Things
Supernatural thriller Stranger Things co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer not only made the inspired choice to bring Winona Ryder out of semi-retirement to star as the show’s unhinged mother-in-crisis; they also assembled primetime’s most endearing ensemble of twelve-year olds to portray four adorable boys and one mesmerizing mystery girl. Emmy-nominated casting director Carmen Cuba, teamed with co-nominees Tara Feldstein Bennett and Chase Paris, looked at more than 1000 in-person and video auditions to find the kids of Stranger Things.
Game of Thrones Recap: “Beyond the Wall”
Tyrion Lannister has had his share of bad ideas throughout the run of Game of Thrones, and kidnapping a White Walker from beyond the wall to prove to Cersei who her true enemies are might be the absolute worst. The idea was so spectacularly ludicrous that it was dumber than his idea to send his niece Myrcella to Dorne for safekeeping (she was used as bait and eventually murdered), or trusting Littlefinger as a confidant while he was the Hand of the King to Joffrey (Littlefinger eventually framed Tyrion for murder),
How Destiny Called Gotham‘s Emmy-Nominated Sound Editor
Emmy season is in the air, and fan-favorite Gotham has certainly not disappointed, racking up three nominations this year alone. The series is no stranger to Emmy nominations either; this is the third year in a row that the show has been recognized for its sound editing. Destiny Calling was the episode put forward for consideration this year, the intense first part of Season 3’s two-part finale. Gotham’s sound supervisor,
Game of Thrones Episode 6 Images Show the Dream Team “Beyond the Wall”
We’re still holding our breath thanks to last week’s Game of Thrones episode cutting to credits as Jon Snow, The Hound, Thoros, Beric, Gendry, Jorah, and Tormund begin their journey to capture a Wight. The plan is not exactly the best one we’ve heard, but we’re cheering for this suicide squad despite the fear in their eyes. HBO recently released new images from the upcoming episode and it appears winter is,
Game of Thrones “Eastwatch” Smashes Ratings Record
“Eastwatch,” the most recent episode of Game of Thrones, blew away previous records for viewership – not even including venues like online streaming and those that record the show to DVR. This season’s premiere saw 10.1 million viewers, a number that pales in comparison to the 10.7 million viewers that tuned in for Eastwatch.
Some are surprised by this hike in ratings.
Arya’s Deadly new Dagger Reinforces the Importance of Valyrian Steel in Game of Thrones
Winter is upon Westeros, and the thing everyone actually needs (whether they know it or not) is Valyrian steel. With the Night King turning his attention toward the south, Valyrian steel blades are one of the few protections against his less-than-merry band of wights. Unfortunately, the blades are few and far between, thanks to the intricacies of the forging process being lost along with a lot of other things in the Doom of Valyria.
Black Widow and Elektra’s Stunt Doubles Fight to See Who Would Win
Stunt performing requires incredible skill and athleticism, but the scenes they perform are usually so entertaining we forget we’re watching a trained professional. Last month we tagged along with super stuntwoman Annabel Wood who showed us some of her amazing skills, which she has plied on Game of Thrones, Wonder Woman and more. Now two crazy talented ladies from the Marvel universe gave fans a behind the scenes look at their incredible talents.
Is Gilly’s Possibly Deadly Discovery Game of Thrones‘ Most Important?
We’ve been trying to unpack the many major reveals in “Eastwatch,” Game of Thrones fifth episode this season. There was Gendry’s return, which will certainly have major ramifications for Jon’s war against the Night King. There was the hoarse whisperer himself Peter Littlefinger, and his machinations to tear the Stark sisters apart. And then, of course, there was Cersei’s revelation that she’s pregnant (and she’s telling the world Jaime’s the father),
Game of Thrones: Major Questions Following “Eastwatch”
Though Game of Thrones would be nothing without questions, this week it finally gave us a long-awaited answer: no, Gendry is not still rowing. In fact, he’s made himself quite useful in the years since we last saw him. But one answer does not an episode make, and Eastwatch provided viewers with some excellent questions.
Moving from south to north, we start at Oldtown, where Sam – and viewers – are being kept in the dark about some things.
What Does Gendry’s Return Mean for Game of Thrones?
Since Joe Dempsie’s attendance at the Game of Thrones Season 7 red carpet premiere, fans have had even more reason to hope for his character return to the show. Dempsie plays Gendry, the bastard of Robert Baratheon and a former ally of Arya Stark. As the opening credits rolled at the top of the fifth episode on Sunday night, the presence of Dempsie’s name confirmed Gendry’s long-awaited reappearance. And what a reintroduction it was.
Game of Thrones Episode 6 Teaser Pits Jon & Company Against Death
The trailer for Game of Thrones penultimate episode in Season 7 shows the massive showdown between Jon Snow’s fur-coated Dirty Half Dozen and the Night King’s Army of the Undead. Last night’s episode “Eastwatch” set this clash into motion, as Jon, Jorah, Gendry, Tormund, Beric, the Hound and Thoros headed out beyond the wall to try and snatch a Wight to bring back as proof that the dead are marching on Westeros.
Game of Thrones Recap: “Eastwatch”
First things first; the thing from last week’s episode, “The Spoils of War,” that no one really thought happened didn’t happen. Jaime Lannister is alive and unwell thanks to Bronn. The two men gasp and gossip on the beach (Bronn not only saved Jaime from Drogon’s fire, he also dragged him up from the depths of the river), Bronn, as always, appearing slightly amused while Jaime, who is quickly rising up Game of Thrones Brooding Ranks,
Watch Bill Hader as Anthony Scaramucci on SNL‘s Weekend Update: Summer Edition
Arguably the two greatest political spoofs in recent SNL history are Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin and Melissa McCarthy’s Sean Spicer. Equal parts loving and lacerating, these two characterizations will stand the test of comedy time. Possibly joining their ranks is Bill Hader’s riff on Anthony Scaramucci, the blink-and-you-missed-it White House communications director, who spent a grand total of 11 days in the position, and was fired, technically, before his actual start date.
In previous years, we wouldn’t have gotten a timely spoof like this because
Double Emmy Nominee Ann Dowd Talks The Handmaid’s Tale and The Leftovers
Frightening to begin with, The Handmaid’s Tale gets even more creepy fifteen minutes into the first episode with the introduction of “Aunt Lydia.” Played with fierce authority by Ann Dowd, Lydia hectors a group of young women forced to bear children for the men who rule near-future “Gilead.” Striding around the classroom in short hair, drab gown and combat boots, Lydia stops at the desk of a surly student and abruptly jabs the handmaid with a cattle prod.
Game of Thrones Episode 5 Images, Title “Eastwatch” Hints at the Arrival of the Night’s King
If you’re stil reeling from Game of Thrones episode 4, “Spoils of War,” join the club. We’re still trying to decide just how effective Dany’s Dothraki-and-dragon attack on the Lannister army was, consideirng the gold they captured from High Garden had already arrived at King’s Landing. What Dany’s torching of the remnants of Jaime’s soldiers will mean for the larger war will likely be part of what we learn in the upcoming fifth episode,
Emmy-Nominated Veep Writers Master Insult-Driven Satire in the Age of Trump
On the face of it, few things sound less intrinsically funny than “presidential library.” And yet for ten wickedly hilarious episodes this spring, HBO comedy Veep packed in more jokes per minute than any of its competition by tracking the self-glorifying quests of a narcissistic politician, expert in the art of personal attacks, who’s willing to say anything and betray anybody if it means holding onto power. Portrayed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Selina Meyer spends most of the season on a quest to memorialize her eight-month “legacy”
The Gifted Exists in a World Where the X-Men are Absent
If you want to drive yourself crazy, try to figure when things happened within the X-Men universe. The films themselves have memorably juggled and re-jiggered timelines, so much so that DenOfGeek created this nifty guide, which helps break down on which timeline the various films exist on. Even with DenOfGeek’s thorough guide, it’s still pretty confusing, and things are hardly made more clear with the addition of the
